Actors Shun Golden Globes

NBC says the show will go on.

Try as they might, the Golden Globes were unable to get a special deal (like the one David Letterman obtained) with the Writers Guild. That means no written material for presenters. Now, the Screen Actors Guild, in a solidarity move, has announced that no SAG actors will be attending or presenting at the awards. So no written material and no stars? Sounds like the show is over…but no!

NBC has said that the show must go on and that they will be going forward with their broadcast of the 65th Annual Golden Globe awards. It's unclear what format the show would have, or what the attraction would be to viewers. While it's seemed certain that the Globes would be unable to get a waiver from the WGA, the move from SAG is something of a surprise. As SAG President Alan Rosenberg put it, "As I have said since this strike began on November 5th, we must stand united with our brothers and sisters at the WGA."
